KAIVAMA DIGITAL ALBUM (2011)

Violinist Sara Pajunen and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Rundman have teamed up to form a new folk music duo called Kaivama. The band is founded on Pajunen and Rundman's common Finnish ancestry and performs original compositions and inventive, energetic arrangements of traditional folk tunes from the Nordic countries. The name Kaivamastems from the Finnish word kaivaa: to delve or dig. Pajunen's unique prowess on the fiddle and Rundman's versatility on guitar, harmonium, piano, and banjo allow Kaivama to explore a surprising variety of textures. Audiences from performance halls to folk festivals to rock clubs are captivated by this youthful duo's instrumental skill and fresh approach in creating music that is alternately joyous, primitive, experimental, haunting, and time-honored.
